Huai Rat Kite Festival

Other than me living here, Huai Rat is famous for its annual kite festival. How they get the wind to blow i don't know its not been windy for months, then we went to the festival and the wind starts. Anyway, some of the kites are seriously massive, the pink one in the photo is bigger than the blue one next to the truck. Each school in the "ampur" (county sub-division) sends a dance troupe, people fly kites, eat etc. Notice the power lines very close by!?

Lottie (obviously)

Here she is in her paddling pool. In the house, and helping Paa's mum and aunty to make rice, peanut and banana cooked inside coconut fronds. She is still no walking unaided, but can stand on her own for a short while. She is now 11 months and 4 days.

The Patter of Tiny Hooves Again

One of our buffalo had a baby, taking the number of buffalo to 7. This one was very small, but has survived with no problems. Here it is with Paa's dad.
